SECTION 5.01 Issuer.
(a) The Issuer has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing as a
statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware, with requisite trust power and authority
to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged, and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing (or is exempt from such requirements) in each

enforceability of this Note Purchase Agreement or any other Basic Document or the rights or
remedies of the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee hereunder or thereunder, (c) the ability of the

item of Collateral or (e) the enforceability or recoverability of any of the Loans (a “Material
Adverse Effect”).
(b) The issuance, sale, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Notes and the Additional
Note Principal Balances, the performance of the Issuer’s obligations under each Basic Document to
which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Lien created by the Basic
Documents), charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Issuer or any of its
Affiliates pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or
other
8
agreement or instrument to which it or any of its Affiliates is bound or to which any of its
property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of
its organizational documents or any Governmental Rule applicable to the Issuer, in each case which
could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) No Governmental Action which has not been obtained is required by or with respect to the
Issuer in connection with the execution and delivery of the Purchased Notes. No Governmental
Action which has not been obtained is required by or with respect to the Issuer in connection with

(d) The Issuer possesses all material licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits issued
by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the
business now operated by it, and has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authorization or permit which, singly
or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially
and adversely affect its condition, financial or otherwise, or its earnings, business affairs or
business prospects.
(e) Each of the Basic Documents to which the Issuer is a party has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Issuer and is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer,
enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to enforcement of bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity.
(f) The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of each of its obligations under
each of the Basic Documents to which it is a party will not result in a breach or violation of any
of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which
the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound or to which any of its properties are subject
or of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its
properties, in each case which could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) The Issuer is not in violation of its organizational documents or in default under any
agreement, indenture or instrument which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Issuer is not a
party to, bound by or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or
subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Issuer that could,
individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents or the Purchased Notes, or (iii) that, if
9
adversely determined, could, individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(i) Neither this Note Purchase Agreement, the other Basic Documents nor any transaction
contemplated herein or therein shall result in a violation of, or give rise to an obligation on the
part of the Purchaser to register, file or give notice under, Regulations T, U or X of the Federal
Reserve Board or any other regulation issued by the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to the Exchange
Act, in each case as in effect on the Closing Date.
(j) The Issuer has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver the Purchased
Notes. Each Purchased Note has been duly and validly authorized by the Issuer and, from and after
the date on which such Purchased Note is executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the
Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Note Purchase Agreement, shall be validly issued and
outstanding and shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer that is
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASER
WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASER
The Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties, as to itself, to the
Issuer and the Depositor on which the same are relying in entering into this Note Purchase
Agreement.
SECTION 6.01 Organization. The Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with power and
authority to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged.
SECTION 6.02 Authority, etc. The Purchaser has all requisite power and authority to
enter into and perform its obligations under this Note Purchase Agreement and to consummate the
transactions herein contemplated. The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Note
Purchase Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary organizational action on the part of the
Purchaser. This Note Purchase Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the
Purchaser and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable
against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to enforcement of bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity. Neither the execution and
delivery by the Purchaser of this Note Purchase Agreement nor the consummation by the Purchaser of
any of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment by the Purchaser of the terms
hereof, will conflict with, or violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any
term or provision of the Purchaser’s organizational documents or any Governmental Rule applicable
to the Purchaser.
SECTION 6.03 Securities Act. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the
Issuer and the Depositor as of the date of this Note Purchase Agreement, as follows:
(a) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of an interest in the Note.
13
The Purchaser (i) is (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), acting for its own
account or the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, or
(B) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, and
(ii) is aware that the Issuer intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under
the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144A or Regulation D, as applicable.
(b) The Purchaser understands that neither the Note nor interests in the Note have been
registered or qualified under the 1933 Act, nor under the securities laws of any state, and
therefore neither the Note nor interests in the Note can be resold unless they are registered or
qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available.
(c) It is the intention of the Purchaser to acquire interests in the Note (a) for investment
for its own account, or (b) for resale to “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under
Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands that the Note and interests therein have not been
registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of
the 1933 Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s
investment intent (or intent to resell only in Rule 144A transactions) as expressed herein.
SECTION 6.04 Conflicts With Law. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Purchaser of its obligations under this Note Purchase Agreement will not result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or
instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or of any statute,
order or regulation applicable to the Purchaser of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, in each case which could be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated therein.
SECTION 6.05 Conflicts With Agreements, etc. The Purchaser is not in violation of its
organizational documents or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument the effect of
which violation or default would be materially adverse to the Purchaser in the performance of its
obligations or duties under any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party. The Purchaser is
not a party to, bound by or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Purchaser
that materially and adversely affects, the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations
under this Note Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 9.01 Indemnification of the Purchaser. Each of the Issuer and the Depositor
hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable expenses or judgments (including
reasonable accounting fees and reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with this Note Purchase Agreement or any other Basic Document and any action, suit or
proceeding or any claim asserted) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred (payable promptly upon
written request), for or on account of or arising from or in connection with any information
prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by any of the Issuer, the Loan Originator or the
Depositor pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without
limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in connection with any
due diligence investigation with respect to the business, operations, financial condition of the
Issuer, the Loan Originator, the Depositor or with respect to the Loans, to the extent such
information contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein in the light of the circumstances under which
such statements were made not misleading, except with respect to any such information used by such
Indemnified Party in violation of the Basic Documents or as a result of an Indemnified Party’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct which results in such Losses. The indemnities contained in
this Section 9.01 will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer or the Depositor may
otherwise have pursuant to this Note Purchase Agreement and any other Basic Document.
SECTION 9.02 Procedure and Defense. In case any action or proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be instituted involving any
21
Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.01, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Depositor in writing and, upon request
of the Indemnified Party, the Issuer and the Depositor shall assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such
Indemnified Party and any others the indemnifying party may designate and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided that failure to give
such notice or deliver such documents shall not affect the rights to indemnity hereunder unless
such failure materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will
have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the
Issuer and/or the Depositor, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the
expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party at
its expense has been authorized in writing by the Depositor or the Issuer, (ii) the Depositor or
the Issuer has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action or (iii) the named parties
to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Depositor or the
Issuer and one or more Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties shall have been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to them which are different from or
additional to those available to the Depositor or the Issuer. Reasonable expenses of counsel to
any Indemnified Party for which the Issuer and the Depositor are responsible hereunder shall be
reimbursed by the Issuer and the Depositor as they are incurred. The Issuer and the Depositor
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding affected without its written consent, but
if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of
such settlement or judgment. Neither the Issuer nor the Depositor will, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
